Tech- One slide remix
As I remodeled my slide, I wanted to focus on one thing and one thing only and that was my love for sports. In my research i realized there is always the focal point of each slide and that the main point should be clear and isolated from the rest but should still flow with the rest of the slide. Therefor, i wanted the bat to be the main focus, it includes colors that are eye popping and attract the eye. I chose to put a quote to fill in space but not one that was too long. I chose one that was equal in the length of line so it wa easy and appealing on the eyes.
From the critics in my slide I learned that i should have a good color scheme and a solid alignment. i was told to not over crowd and just keep it simple and with a lot of open space. I made a lot of drastic changes because i felt that in comparison to everyone else’s is was overcrowded and i felt that it should’ve been way more simple and focused on one thing which was my love for sports for softball. I went back to my research and it helped me make a better slide because it gave me clear examples, it showed me that i should’ve simplified my slide and make it aligned and overall appealing to the eye.
I used the articles that were found on the assignment link on canvas and i also googled a lot of ikea examples. I think ikea slides are the best to follow because they show you what you need to see without overwhelming you. They keep it short and simple and get to the point. They use up all the space yet don’t overcrowd and everything flows off nicely. I followed their models to create my slide. I chose the the bat to fill up the most space and the quote to give off the information needed.

Remix 1 Slide + Reflection
The first change I made was the font. I decided to use a font that had a cursive like print, which is how I write. I chose the font "Playball" because it had all of the qualities I was looking for, and it looks similar to my handwriting. I also changed the name of my camp to "summer" because it is my favorite season and it looked more symmetric that way. Lastly, I changed the spacing on my words because it was not balanced before.
The research I did made my slide better because I really looked into some more slides with symmetry and balance, so I knew how to change my spacing and word choice to make it look a lot better.
I used the same resources given, like Presentation Zen. I also used Garr Reynold's Top Ten Slide Tips and visage.co "11 Design Tips for Beautiful Presentations." Finally, I used google images to just look at other slides people have done to get inspired.

Hi my name is Aidan McLaughlin and this is my slide about me
The image in the background strongly represents two main factors in my life, soccer and technology. I chose this specific background because it is not fully symmetrical. The image is darker outside the computer than in it to create a lifelike effect, to contrast in the slide, and to show the main concept of my slide. The quote is bold and in black to create contrast between the gray background and the letters. This quote defines me because it shows that I will always persevere both in sports and in life outside of athletics.
All About Me Slide - Cameryn Roach
When I presented my slide to my peers, I gained critique about the font, the placement of the words, and the background. I was told that the font of the words didn’t really describe me, since it was really basic. The background had seemed boring, and the placement of the words could’ve been better. I learned that what they were saying was true, and maybe I didn’t step back and look at it long enough.
After I looked at the background, I thought that it should stay the way it was. According to the sources, empty spaces and bright colors are the best way to go. The black background would draw your eyes towards that colors, and the hues worked well with each other, so I didn’t change anything about that. The font to me was boring, so I played around with different types ones until I settled on Lobster, a thick and cursive font. I changed “photography” into photographer and “art” into artist. I put those two words below the side pictures, and I put my name at the top middle, since this slide is about me.
The research helped me realize what good points I would’ve missed if I didn’t read them. It helped me learn new words for when I had to write my script, and it made everything more cohesive. Before I read the info on how to make a good slide, I was going to put words that described me everywhere, but I learned that big and simple is better, since the slides are supposed to provide more of a visual rather than text. Some of the sources that I used were Presentation Zen, Slide Design for Developers, and Elements of Design Defined for the slide itself, and I used my phone for the pictures.
